POLITIDYKES-- political, progressive!
What POLITIDYKES is:
It's a discussion list.
It's a virtual salon, dedicated to progressive political discussion.
It's a political forum.
It's for women who identify as bi, lesbian, or queer.
What POLITIDYKES is not:
It's not a news list, but we can talk about news and events.
It's not a classroom, but we can learn from each other.
It's not restricted to ANY particular political point of view!
POLITIDYKES grew out of a need for progressive
political discussion. Webster's, of progressive, includes:
of, relating to, or characterized by progress; making use of
or interested in new ideas, findings, or opportunities;
moving forward or onward: advancing.
Communication styles that support progressive discussion
include: asking questions, clarifying, paraphrasing;
qualifying--"this is my opinion" vs. "this is fact". You are
encouraged to discuss, read, write, think, debate,
question, clarify, communicate, learn, unlearn.
POLITIDYKES is intended to provide women a friendly space
for progressive political discussion. Members are encouraged
to question, challenge, converse, share, and push the limits
of their own understanding. Flaming, name-calling, and the use of
disparaging metaphor should be left to other times and spaces.
If someone here offends you, please try to address her in a way
that leaves room for further dialogue.
